It's been a magical 2025. Honestly, if on January 1st of this year they had told us that we were going to experience everything we have experienced, perhaps not many would have believed it. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have given us some of the best tennis afternoons we have ever seen, and that's saying a lot.

The final of these ATP Finals is just the icing on the cake of a season of great heights, where the Spanish and Italian finally met in major finals. Until May this year, they had never faced each other in any M1000 or Grand Slam, and they close the season with two M1000 finals and three Grand Slam finals. Quite remarkable.

I would say that Carlos and Jannik have made us forget about the Big 3. There were still many who deeply missed Roger and Rafa after their farewell, feeling a bit orphaned from tennis, but many of them have reconnected with the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry and the finals they have gifted us in this 2025.

The Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry, pure magic

The Roland Garros final will undoubtedly go down in history. It was one of the best matches ever seen, and everyone praised the level of tennis displayed by the two that afternoon, astonishing both fans and non-fans in one of those special finals that come along every many years. That day, Carlos and Jannik showed everyone that their rivalry will be legendary.

No one doubts that both will claim numerous Grand Slams. If nothing unusual happens, they will end up with double digits in major titles since they are in a different league from the rest. They more than double the points of the third-ranked player and almost triple those between positions 5 and 9. Absolutely phenomenal. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the Spanish and Italian are playing a different game than the rest.

In today's tennis, where some still feel a part of their heart has been hurting since the day Roger and Rafa said goodbye, Carlos and Jannik have managed to make many forget that there was a time when the major titles were disputed in an intense battle among three names. Yes, we still miss them, but with Alcaraz and Sinner, that absence hurts much less.

I don't know what 2026 will bring us, but if it resembles what 2025 has been in terms of major finals, it will be a great year. For fans of surprises, they might miss a bit more diversity, as who knows if a third player will join the party of these two. That would be the epitome. Aside from that, we will always remember 2025 as the year of the consolidation of the rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. And if it continues at this level, may many more come.
